Texas Ban on Planned Parenthood Funds Takes Effect
The abortion-related move follows the state's dispute with the Obama administration that resulted in a denial of millions of dollars in federal funds for a Texas women's health initiative.
AUSTIN, Texas — A new Texas law that bars state funds for organizations that perform or promote abortion, including Planned Parenthood, took effect in the state Jan. 1.
The move follows the state's dispute with the Obama administration that resulted in a denial of millions of dollars in federal funds for a Texas women's health initiative.
On Dec. 31, a state district judge rejected a Planned Parenthood request for a temporary restraining order against the law, which the state Legislature passed in 2011.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who signed the bill into law, praised the decision.
He said the ruling "finally clears the way for thousands of low-income Texas women to access much-needed care, while at the same time respecting the values and laws of our state."
"I applaud all those who stand ready to help these women live healthy lives without sending taxpayer money to abortion providers and their affiliates."
The Texas Women's Health Program serves low-income women who would qualify for Medicaid if they become pregnant. It aims to provide about 110,000 women aged 18-44 with health exams, basic health care and some family-planning services, the Texas Tribune reports.
The program has now added treatment for some sexually transmitted diseases.
The state of Texas says that the new restrictions on funding for abortion providers means that about 20,000 women who used services at Planned Parenthood must now find a new health-care provider.
Planned Parenthood says 48,000 of the women participating in the health program receive services from the organization. It says it is the only or main provider of women's health services in many rural communities.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's website said that for every clinic that does not qualify for state funds under the new rule, there are five family-planning clinics and more than 70 individual physicians in the program.
Commission spokeswoman Linda Edwards Gockel told the Texas Tribune that the program now has greater capacity than it did when it was funded by Medicaid.
The federal government had previously provided $9 in federal funds for every $1 in state funds, totaling about $30 million per year.
The Obama administration cut off the funds in March 2012, saying that federal law says that patients are allowed to choose their health-care providers. The administration has sought to oppose or sidestep similar efforts to deny state funds to abortion providers in Indiana and New Hampshire.
The Texas Catholic Conference supported the state law barring funds for abortion providers.
"By insisting that the state of Texas cannot direct funds to thousands of providers statewide who offer true, comprehensive, women's health care — and instead require Medicaid funds to go to prop up 44 Planned Parenthood clinics — the federal government risks removing preventative health care from hundreds of thousands of women in Texas," the conference said March 7, 2012.
One Texas Planned Parenthood organization faces charges of Medicare fraud.
A whistleblower lawsuit has charged that Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, formerly known as Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas, filed at least 87,000 false, fraudulent or ineligible claims with the Texas Woman's Health Program and wrongfully received reimbursements of more than $5.7 million between 2007 and 2009.
The Alliance Defending Freedom legal group filed the suit in 2009 on behalf of Abby Johnson, former director of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan/College Station, Texas. The suit was not made public until March 2012.
In October 2011, another former Planned Parenthood employee in Texas, Karen Reynolds, filed an updated legal complaint that said in her 10 years as a Planned Parenthood health-center assistant she was instructed to maximize billing revenue when the government was paying through Medicaid and the Women's Health Program.
The American Center for Law and Justice is handling Reynolds' suit.

Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
Even at a time when countless indie rock bands are working with the same building blocks of acoustic instruments and lush harmonies, the Virginia-based Red Clover Ghost still stands out. Twins Clint and Gibb Cockrum give these 11 songs a variety of intriguing emotions and arrangements. There's a late 1960's/early 70's vibe in the way the Cockrum brothers weave their vocals together, as well as a persistent air of mystery.
On "If I Could Only Have The Last Time," Red Clover Ghost takes the chilling ambience of Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Guinnevere," adds some lilting piano playing, and then pumps up the energy. "Nobody Knows" and "The Prophet" deal with spiritual imagery and the sting of being betrayed by a trusted mentor. "When The Whiskey's Gone" uses an exhilarating hoedown to spin the tale of a man's encounter with an beguiling woman who dances with him for hours, only to disappear at daybreak. "Bear Hill," the most rock-oriented track on this impressive debut, finds Red Clover Ghost sounding like vintage R.E.M.

This project, named carpet/?s, allows personalized ascii carpet to be purchased. All that is needed is a single click and the program will generate a unique ascii output.
It is based on the time when the surfer goes to a web site. The time in a form of hh:mm:ss is then used as a keyword for the results taken from a search engine. The program downloads the contents of a second given result, rejects html tags and white spaces and puts all textual content into a carpet-like form.
Better start saving, these carpets will cost a pretty penny. A finished, 6.5 by 8 foot carpet is going to cost upwards of $2,500 shipped within Europe.

Spanish WWF sacks King Juan Carlos over elephant hunt
- Published
The conservation group WWF in Spain has removed King Juan Carlos as its honorary president for going on an elephant hunting trip in Botswana.
The WWF's Spanish chapter voted overwhelmingly to abolish the post, a statement said, adding that the safari did not sit well with WWF goals.
The king was widely criticised after news of the trip emerged in April, in the middle of a severe economic crisis.
Spain's royal family has faced a series of embarrassments this year.
King Juan Carlos apologised to the Spanish people for the hunting trip, which only came to light when he was flown home from Africa after breaking a hip.
An online petition calling for his resignation from the WWF post accumulated almost 85,000 signatures by the time he made his public apology.
The controversy prompted Spanish newspapers to publish a photo of the king on a previous safari, in which he is seen standing with a gun beside a dead elephant.
"Although this type of hunting is legal and regulated, many members consider it to be incompatible with the position of honorary patron of an international organisation that aims to protect the environment," the WWF statement said on Saturday.
The vote to abolish the position of honorary president was carried by a 94% majority, it said.
The king is generally popular in Spain, but the royal family has been beset by a series of embarrassing news stories this year.
The king's son-in-law, Inaki Urdangarin, has been questioned in connection with a corruption scandal involving claims that he used public funds to organise sports events.

LONDON (AP) — David Beckham is retiring from soccer, ending a career in which he transcended the sport with forays into fashion and a marriage to a pop star that made him a global celebrity.
The 38-year-old midfielder, who recently won a league title in a fourth country with Paris Saint-Germain, said Thursday he will retire after the season.
"I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level," the former England captain said in a statement.
Beckham, whose curling free kicks became his signature as a player, has two more matches left at PSG — against Brest on Saturday and at Lorient on May 26. He has been giving his salary to a children's charity.
Beckham started his career with Manchester United and also played for Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy, winning titles with all those clubs. He also spent time with AC Milan.
"If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy," Beckham said. "I'm fortunate to have realized those dreams."
On the international stage, Beckham made 115 appearances for England's national team — a record for a player other than a goalkeeper.
"To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country," Beckham said. "I knew every time I wore the Three Lions shirt, I was not only following in a long line of great players, I was also representing every fan that cared passionately about their country. I'm honored to represent England both on and off the pitch."
Beckham is now living in London with wife Victoria, a former "Spice Girls" singer, and their four children.
"I wouldn't have achieved what I have done today without my family. I'm grateful for my parents' sacrifice, which made me realize my dreams," he said. "I owe everything to Victoria and the kids, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period."
With United between 1992 and 2003, Beckham won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, two FA Cups and the Intercontinental Cup.
Beckham left United in 2003 shortly after manager Alex Ferguson accidentally struck Beckham's eye with a football boot. Ferguson announced his retirement from Manchester United last week.
Beckham spent four years in Madrid — winning the 2007 Spanish title before making the surprise move to Major League Soccer, where he won the title twice.
There were highs and lows in Beckham's international career. He was blamed for England's elimination from the 1998 World Cup for his petulant red card against Argentina, but scored the winning goal against the same team at the World Cup four years later.
Beckham responded to jeering at the 2000 European Championship with an obscene hand gesture to England fans, but was lauded by the same supporters a little more than a year later when his last-minute free kick against Greece secured a place at the 2002 World Cup.
England dropped Beckham in 2006 in an effort to renew the team with younger players after a quarterfinal exit at that year's World Cup. England coach Steve McClaren recalled him the following year after a poor run of form, and he returned for the remainder of England's unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2008 European Championship.
His last England appearance came against Belarus in October 2009, and he missed the 2010 World Cup because of an Achilles tendon injury. He still went to South Africa as part of Fabio Capello's backroom staff.
"I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from," Beckham said. "I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed."
Beckham had already started planning for his post-playing career earlier in the season, becoming an ambassador for Chinese soccer.
"Nothing will ever completely replace playing the game I love, however I feel like I'm starting a new adventure and I'm genuinely excited about what lies ahead," Beckham said. "I'm fortunate to have been given many opportunities throughout my career and now I feel it's my time to give back."
Beckham played a key role in England's unsuccessful bid to host the 2018 World Cup ahead of the 2010 vote, and the English Football Association wants to capitalize on his influence and star power in the future.
"He is an iconic figure in the game and produced wonderful performances for his clubs, particularly Manchester United," FA chairman David Bernstein said. "When you look at his playing and work for England, no one would ever accuse him of being unpatriotic and not giving everything for his country.
"He is a real loss to the game and I am sure the FA will want to embrace him and to get him closely associated with the organization."
Beckham's retirement comes a week after the 71-year-old Ferguson ended his managerial career.
"In the week following Sir Alex Ferguson retiring, which came as a bit of a shock, now we have the iconic David Beckham coming out of the game," Bernstein said. "It's unexpected even though he is getting to mature years for a footballer."

Graphics Cards Guide
- ‹ Prev
- Next ›
It's been a while since we saw the last of those giant dual graphics cards that integrated two graphics core on a single PCB. Usually, these custom cards are created as a demonstration of a manufacturer's innovation (or hubris) and more often than not displayed exclusively at conventions or trade shows. There were few of these cards for retail and those that were sold were hideously expensive - NVIDIA's official dual-GPU card, the GeForce 7950 GX2 being the rare and successful exception.
By our reckoning, the last two we experienced firsthand were the dual GeForce 6800 GT cards from ASUS and Gigabyte . After the initial excitement generated by these behemoths dwindled, they quickly faded from the limelight. Nevertheless, that has not stopped vendors from trying. GeCube has been one of those who have attempted at such a card with the Gemini, which featured dual Radeon X1600 XT processors. First seen at last year's CeBIT, the prototype was never released commercially. However, it seems that GeCube has not given up on the idea and the introduction of ATI's Radeon X1650 XT has revived the Gemini.
Dubbed the Gemini 2, this new dual GPU graphics card has two Radeon X1650 XT cores on a single PCB. Remarkably, GeCube has managed to keep the cooler to a single slot despite the additional complexity of cooling two cores. Outfitted with a heavy, full copper heatsink and capable of powering up to four monitors through custom connectors, this graphics card has been modified to run ATI's Native CrossFire through a PLX bridge chip that links the two GPUs via an 8-lane bus and at the same time, communicates via 16 lanes with the PCIe bus. While we have seen examples of dual GPUs using SLI, this is probably the first time we have seen a CrossFire version. And unlike the last Gemini, Gemini 2 will be available for enthusiasts.

At this point, the adult ritual (RCIA 53) finds the the presider asking the sponsors and the assembly if they are prepared to help the candidates. A curious rubric, asking the children to fetch their parents appears in RCIA 265:
265. In the following or a similar way, the celebrant asks the children to seek the consent of the parents or sponsors who are presenting them.
N. and N., go and ask your parents (sponsors) to come here and stand with you so that they may give their assent.
The children go to their parents or sponsors and bring them before the celebrant, who continues …
Before we get to what is asked of the parents, let's note that the rite with children skips over the candidates' first acceptance of the Gospel (RCIA 52). The rite presumes the children are standing apart from their parents. In western culture, my sense is that this wouldn't be the first choice of either the families or the parish staff.
The parents are asked to assent by responding to these two questions:
Dear parents (sponsors), your children have asked to be prepared for baptism. Do you consent to their request?
Are you willing to do your part in their preparation for baptism?
The assembly is asked:
These boys and girls have set out on the road to baptism. They will need the support of our faith and love. Are you, their families and friends, ready to give that help?

Wired has an excellent article on why harassment policies are needed — it's because the social dynamics of conventions can mess up people's perspectives.
Conventions need anti-harassment policies. Not because convention attendees are disproportionately boorish or creepy–they're really not–or because of social obliviousness. Rather, the difficulty lies in the very thing that makes conventions conventions: the social phenomena that come into play whenever humans gather in large groups.
Read the whole thing. It's very thorough in discussing the psychology behind harassing behavior, and why it's not just something evil psychopathic trolls do.

In his eponymous Discovery Channel series, Stephen Hawking says that time travel is totally theoretically possible. Here are the three most straightforward ways to achieve it.
Build a wormhole, but through time, instead of space. Easy, right? But assuming wormhole construction is a possibility, if you placed both ends of the wormhole near Earth, and channeled through time, you'd arrive and a different when, rather than where.
Get in orbit around a black hole. Again, assuming you've got a spacecraft capable of interstellar travel, each revolution around a black hole would take only half as much time for those on the ship as those off of it.
Go really fast. Approach the speed of light — which would take a giant ship filled with massive amounts of fuel six years of full-burn to achieve — at which point time will slow down for the travelers on the ship. For the would-be chrononaut who can't find a black hole.

Not sexy.
Not kissable.
You won't score with those (I'm guessing that was the cause...).
The cure? There are a lot of protective lip balms out there, but only one has truly spoken to me (pun intended).
Those who know me personally, know I always have a tube of Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 with me. It's the Messiah of all lip care, and there is no arguing about that!
Only $6.50 (a tad more expensive in Europe) and it comes in various editions (with SPF 15, or the Aids Relief Fund Edition).
We're not all born lippy (pun intended, once again), so get smearing!

Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a wonderful day!
I just luuurvve your avatar piccy. I only just noticed it because you posted in front of me.
Congratulations on 15,000 posts! You are a superstar!
Thanks kbe! I reposted stripper bunny on my facebook page!
I am thinking of this, and what your words refer to. I find it difficult to find my inner peace back at the moment, and to install such rituals that would reintroduce the state of mind. Even when I enjoy fully a fragrance, a view of nature or the cuddly silence of my cat. Am I distracted ?
Bonjour Ken,
I really love what you wrote on Asaskian's thread "Perfumistes ..".
Thank you for that.
For our cats:
A divine wind? Divine? More like diabolical...
I am desolate that I caused you worries. Thank you for caring.

Baylor rallies for win over Oklahoma State
BY foxsports • January 21, 2013
WACO, Texas (AP) -- Pierre Jackson scored 18 points, including two 3-pointers and a tough inside basket in an 83-second span of the second half when Baylor regained control on the way to a 64-54 victory over Oklahoma State on Monday.
Jackson, the Big 12's top scorer, had only five points in the game's first 24 minutes before his quick eight-point spurt pushed Baylor ahead by 10 points. Unlike their double-digit lead in the first half, the Bears (13-5, 4-1 Big 12) held on this time.
Le'Bryan Nash had 24 points for the Cowboys (12-5, 2-3), including 10 in their 11-2 run going into halftime for a 28-27 lead.
Isaiah Austin (10 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks) and Cory Jefferson (11 points and 11 rebounds) both had double-doubles for the Bears.

The Raiders and veteran running back Maurice Jones-Drew agreed to terms on a three-year contract Friday pending a physical, according to an ESPN report.
Jones-Drew, 29, spent his first nine NFL seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. His best season came in 2011, when he led the league with 1,606 yards rushing.
He struggled through the worst season of his NFL career in 2013, when he finished with a 3.4-yard average rushing.
Jones-Drew graduated from De La Salle High School and grew up in the Bay Area. Now it appears as if he will get an opportunity to resurrect his career in front of friends and family.
It's unclear how the Raiders intend to use Jones-Drew. They re-signed Darren McFadden to a one-year contract at the start of free agency. McFadden has been the Raiders lead back when healthy for most of his six-year NFL career.
Just the same, McFadden also is seeking to prove that he still merits consideration as a starting back. He averaged 3.3 yards rushing each of the past two seasons.
The Raiders also have Latavius Murray, Jeremy Stewart and Kory Sheets on their roster as options at running back.

The 2006 decree was annulled back in August by the Conseil d'Etat, France's highest administrative court, following an attack by opponents of large-scale wind power. They argued that the mandated purchase price was unnecessarily generous and gave owners excess profits at the expense of electricity consumers. The CRE, in its capacity as advisor to the minister, also considered that the rates were too high. It said that while profits for wind plant running for 2200 hours a year are "in line" with investor expectations, they are "manifestly excessive" for those on windy sites operating for 24 hours or more. CRE called for lower rates to be set for more windy sites.
CRE also argued that prices are too high for offshore installations, especially in estuaries and other shallow water sites, where the returns "clearly exceed the criterion of normal profitability imposed by the law." CRE recommended that offshore wind no longer be covered by fixed purchase prices but revert to a system of competitive tendering, as was the case before 2006.
CRE estimates that by 2015, when installed wind capacity in France is scheduled to reach 17 GW, electricity consumers will be paying an extra EUR 1.7-2.1 billion a year more than if the energy was delivered by conventional power plant. Despite CRE's fears, Borloo decided not to tinker with the French wind power market framework. He reinstated the rates for wind energy fixed in 2006.
For the first ten years of operation, wind power plant onshore are paid EUR 0.082/kWh for delivered energy. For the following five years, the rate varies according to the productivity of the site between a low of EUR 0.028/kWh for plant operating for an average of 3600 hours or more and a high of EUR 0.082/kWh for 2400 hours or less. For offshore installations, for the first ten years it is fixed at EUR 0.13/kWh, while the variable rate over the following five years ranges from EUR 0.03/kWh for 3900 hours or more to EUR 0.13/kWh for 2800 hours or less. Rates fall by 2% a year for plant built after January 1, 2008, though they are also adjusted to take account of inflation.

Surviving an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster comes down to basics. Having a 3-day (72 hour) supply of fresh drinking water and non-perishable food is paramount to making it through the difficult hours immediately following a natural disaster. It can take rescue teams and professional emergency response units hours and sometimes days to locate victims of a disaster and you will need to stay hydrated and fed during this time to ensure your well-being and survival.
Our emergency food and water kits have a 5-year shelf-life for both the food and water and is Coast-guard approved.

i'm a complete newbie and i've been trying to do some course wotrk but i am completely lost with one of the activities i ahve been given. Here is the question;
In this scenario you are writing code related to a college record-keeping system that maintains information about a number of courses, each of which has a code (such as A 123), a title (such as 'Advanced Florestry') and a number of points gained (such as 60).
The college records certain details about its students, including their names and identifiers. Note that Instances of courses may have a number of students registered on them.
Develop the class called Course that describes a college course. The skeleton of the Courseclass has instance variables as follows:
code is a reference to the code of the course, a String;
title is a reference to the title of the course, a String;
points stores the number of points the course is worth, an int.
You are also provided with getter methods for these variables and a constructor to be completed in part (c). In this part, you should create toString and equals methods to override those inherited from the Object class. You are required to write the following methods:
the toString method should return a string containing the details of the course, including the course code, its title and the number of points gained in parentheses, for example A 123, Advanced Florestry(60);
the equals method should return true if the receiver object has the same course code as the object referenced by the argument to this method, otherwise it should return false. (We assume that course codes are unique.)
In this part, you should create an exception class called InvalidCoursein the same package as the Course class. We want this to be a checked exception, and it should have a single-argument constructor that takes a String message as an argument.
This class will be used to throw an exception in the event that an invalid course construction is attempted and is to be used in part (c) below.
In this part you should complete the Course class constructor, which receives a code, a title and a number of points gained, and sets the instance data of the constructed object to the received values.
The Course class will require the following helper methods to check the validity of the course data:
booleanvalidCode() receives a Stringcourse code as an argument and returns true if the course code begins with a letter and is followed by three digits, otherwise it returns false. You should use methods of the Character class to determine if characters are letters or digits.
booleanvalidPoints() receives an int value as an argument and returns true if the points value is a positive
booleanvalidTitle() receives a String and returns true if its value is not null; otherwise the method returns false.
You should ensure that the Course class constructor uses these helper methods to determine if the course data it receives is valid.
If the course data is valid, the constructor should complete normally, setting the instance data to the received values. If any of the arguments is not valid, the constructor should throw an InvalidCourse exception with an appropriate error message, which should include the faulty data value.
Now i'm just not getting anything to work here at all and i'm just getting in a mess. Here is what i have so far as i can't work out how to do the rest can anyone help me??
public class Course { private String code; private String title; private int points; // complete the class constructor public Course(String aCode, String aTitle, int pts) { code = aCode; title = aTitle; points = pts; } //the toString method public String toString() { return (code + ", " + title + " (" + points + ") "); } //the equals method public boolean equals (Course c) { return code.equals(c.code); } //the validCode method //the validPoints method //the validTitle method //provided getters public String getCode() { return code; } public String getTitle() { return title; } public int getPoints() { return points; } }

The Catechism with Lights, Bells, and Whistles
Divinity Religious Product's computer games make learning the Catholic faith fun
CATHOLIC LEADERS around the world have taken steps in recent years to ensure that a healthy Church ushers in the coming celebration of 2,000 years of Christianity. In 1992, Pope John Paul II released the first universal Catechism in more than 400 years and throughout his pontificate has called for a re-catechizing of Catholics everywhere. The U.S. bishops, for their part, have stressed the importance of finding new ways to engage youth and young adults with the age-old truths of the Catholic faith.
As the Pope and the bishops lay the groundwork, Divinity Religious Products, a small, like-minded company in Southern California, is working hard to make those goals a reality. The company's approach to the challenges mirrors the basic philosophy shared by almost all effective educators: It's crucial to make the material to be learned enjoyable.
Divinity has done just that in the games it has created based on the Catechism and on the Bible. The six-year-old company has also taken the extra step of submitting its products for ecclesiastical review and all have received the Church's imprimatur (let it be printed) and nihil obstat, indicating its freedom from doctrinal or moral error.
"We've taken material from the new Catechism and The New American Bible and made it more reachable and more fun to learn for lay people ages seven and up," says Michael McKay, a theologian and vice-president of Divinity. "We're helping to build people's religious vocabularies."
The company has produced two popular board games—the Catholic Family Bible Game and Divinity, the Catholic Catechism Learning System— and the Catholic Quiz series of question and answer flip books for grades one through nine.
It's Divinity's latest game, however, Catholic Challenge, that is attracting the most attention and stands to revolutionize the way people reinforce knowledge of their faith. Catholic Challenge marries questions drawn from the Catechism and Scripture with the latest advances in multi-media to create an exciting game for play on computers.
"It's our answer to the fast-paced video culture," says McKay. "People are coming to depend on their Macs and PCs for everything from surfing the Web to information on balancing their checkbooks. Now they'll have the chance to use computers to increase knowledge of their faith in an entertaining way."
Catholic Challenge brings the Catechism to life on the computer screen. Like the four sections of the 800-page document, questions for the game fall into four areas—Believe, Celebrate, Live, and Pray. Bold graphics, a ticking timer, cheers and jeers from a phantom audience, and other effects give it the multi-media feel computer games depend on to engage demanding audiences in the '90s. Game settings can easily be customized, allowing kids to compete against adults and novices against theologians.
"The colors, the tumbling dice, the bells and whistles, all make it really fun to play," says Darren Hogan.
A 27-year-old New Haven, Conn. area fund-raiser, Hogan says he's not a game player by nature but has nonetheless become a Catholic Challenge aficionado.
"I usually prefer to read or take a walk, but I'm interested in my faith and this is a way to test what you know and to learn more. The game is fast and informative and you have to concentrate if you don't want to get tripped up on the really tricky questions."
Hogan sees Catholic Challenge not only as a good game, but as a useful tool to further the new evangelization that Pope John Paul II has urged to prepare for the coming Jubilee year of Christianity.
"If you have people over, it's a lot more comfortable to play a game than to just start talking about your faith," he says. "Besides, it's less intimidating for everybody when you have the questions being posed by a computer."
And Catholic Challenge really does seem to get friends and families who play examining and talking about their faith.
"I thought the game was a good idea," says Fritz Heinzen, a 40-year-old father of three, "but when I heard that it was supposed to promote discussion, I was a little skeptical. When you land on a square that presents you with a moral dilemma, before you know it you're talking about these profound ideas in the middle of the game."
The Heinzens, who are big game players according to Fritz, sometimes play as often as three times a week. But Fritz likes the fact that his eight-year-old daughter, Katie, often plays on her own.
"Any kid who owns a computer can play this game" he says, adding that he's often surprised to see how much his oldest daughter, who attends Holy Spirit School in northern Virginia, knows.
"The game reinforces what she's already learned and prepares her for what she's going to learn," he says.
By the time Katie hits fifth grade, the second grader might just get a chance to show her chops in competition. In conjunction with William H. Sadlier, Inc., a leader in the Catholic education business for 465 years, Divinity recently launched a "Religion Bee," based on questions from Catholic Challenge and the Catholic Quiz series.
The pilot contest, held this spring in Orange, Calif., included nearly 400 fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-graders from across the diocese.
"It was a great teaching moment to have students take the study booklets home to prepare with their parents," said Ruth Bradley, director of the diocesan Office for Religious Education. "It was an opportunity to get them talking about their faith."
In a "Family Feud" style contest, four-person teams in two age groups—a fifth-sixth grade team from Serra School and a seventh-eighth grade team from San Francisco Solano Parish, both in Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca.— won top honors and passes to nearby Disneyland for their efforts. Now, with the success of that first "Religion Bee," Divinity and Sadlier are working with other dioceses to put on contests in the coming school year.
"We plan to take it national and then international," says Divinity CEO Lee Leichtag, who already has made inroads with the company's games in Mexico and Italy.
"Imagine it—an international 'Religion Bee.'" Leichtag has the air of a dreamer when speaking of the company's future plans. But the 76-year-old self-made millionaire also has the resources and acumen to pull it off.
Though not particularly religious, Leichtag, who was born Jewish, was driven by the belief that the answer to society's many problems—drug abuse, teen pregnancy, violent crime, etc.—just might be found in religion.
"My dream was to do something for kids and parents, to bring families closer together," he says. "And what better way than to get them to sit down together and deal with moral questions that prepare you to do good in the world. I hope and believe these games can help do that."
Leichtag knows the games aren't a cure-all for society's woes. Neither are they a one-stop solution to religious education.
"Faith is obviously more than a cognitive experience and facts are just one part of it," says the Diocese of Orange's Bradley. "But Catholic Challenge reinforces knowledge of the facts and can bring families together in their faith development."
It's just that element that led Sadlier, probably the best known supplier of Catholic textbooks and other religious goods, to team-up with Divinity.
"Our products always have a family component and their games are so well done that they're generating excitement and interest everywhere our reps take them across the country," says Sister Christine Kresho CSJ, Sadlier's director of marketing.
Catholic Challenge is the kind of product that sells itself, she says. "At conventions and conferences where we've shown it, people sit down to play and they don't want to leave until they can purchase it," she adds.
Later this year Divinity plans to release a second computer game, this one based strictly on the Bible. But getting their games out to the Catholic community at large is the greatest challenge now facing the company.
"As good as our products might be, there's no established retail system," says Leichtag. "There are no footprints, but we're ready to be pioneers."
Whatever it takes, Leichtag says, he's ready to go the distance.
Stephen Lorenz is based in New Haven, Conn.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is suing a Manhattan club and its operators for $20 million over a scratched cornea he says he suffered during a fight involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage.
The suit was filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Thursday. It says the W.i.P club in SoHo and its operators were negligent in security and supervision, which allowed the fight to take place.
Chris Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among eight injured during the fight inside the club last week. Police say members of Drake's entourage stopped Brown as he was leaving. The fight escalated and bottles were thrown.

What's Wrong with Imported Oil?
In a speech today at Georgetown University, President Obama called for a goal of cutting America's oil imports by one‐third within a decade. Like all efforts to wean Americans from big, bad imports, such a policy will mean we will all pay more than we need to for the energy that helps to power our economy.
I'll leave it to my able Cato colleagues to dissect the president's proposal in terms of energy policy, but in terms of trade policy, this is about as bad as it gets.
We Americans benefit tremendously from our relatively free trade in petroleum products. Like all forms of trade, the importation of oil produced abroad allows us to acquire it at a price far lower than we would pay if we had to rely more heavily on domestic oil supplies.
The money we save buying oil more cheaply on global markets allows our whole economy to operate more efficiently. Oil is the ultimate upstream input that virtually all U.S. producers use to make their final products, either in the product itself or for shipping. If U.S. manufacturers and other sectors are forced to pay sharply higher prices for petroleum products because of import restrictions, their final goods will cost more and will be less competitive in global markets. If households are forced to pay more for gasoline and heating oil, consumer will have less to spend on domestic goods and services.
The president talked in the speech about the goal of not being "dependent" on foreign suppliers, but most of our oil imports come from countries that are either friendly or at least not in any way an adversary. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, one third of our oil imports in 2010 came from our two closest neighbors and NAFTA partners, Canada and Mexico. Another third came from the problematic providers in the Arab Middle East and Venezuela (none from Iran, less than one‐third of 1 percent from Libya.) The rest came from places such as Nigeria, Angola, Colombia, Brazil, Russia, Ecuador and Great Britain.
Even if, by the force of government, we could reduce our imports by a third, there is no reason to expect that the reduction would be concentrated in the problematic providers. In fact, oil is generally cheaper to extract in the Middle East, so a blanket reduction would probably tilt our imports away from our friends and toward our real and potential adversaries.
In one speech, the president has managed to state a policy goal that is bad trade policy, bad security policy, and bad foreign policy.

so im sittin here watchin the aristocats, a disney classic on my little ass television set. whoever said tv kills brain cells was right, however i appreciate the deadness of a portion of my brain, it allows me to appreciate the subtleties of children's entertainment. sigh. i know yal remember all of those movies we used to watch, the lion king, lady and the tramp, the sword and the stone (or maybe that one was just me), Aladdin, the jungle book, snow white and the seven dwarfs, the home alones, cinderella (and the brandy version too), mulan, toy story, a bugs life, and the list goes on and on and on and on. being a child with a vcr was so much easier than being a child with no tv. i mean what did everyone do when it was too cold to go outside or too late? you watched tv. it really is great when you think about it. i did read as a child, but tv was like an outlet to your dreams. you could see the places you wanted to travel too, watch the fabulous life of all those mc's out there, you could actually see how rich you planned to get how many hoes money could by, the new mercedes benz, you could see all the shit you wanted to have in your life. some of the things you will later obtain or could never obtain...man tv is a big buzz kill these days. all i see is reality, well unreality. a huge array of shows dedicated to the vision of nothingness. im tellin yal jesus has to be coming back any day now with this dumb reality bs thats going around. its like iraq, george bush, and reality tv...ALL BUZZ KILLS!!! bring me back to the days where the only tv i saw was not based in any reality, when tv was based on the writers' imagination. i remember when tv could make me love life and hate it all at the same time because drama lived there (to a certain extent) thats why i watch tcm, so i can see that love can not be created commercially and that there was actually a time where there was a complete and beautiful view of love that was not tarnished by the fools they bring on these dumb ass vh1 shows. all in all tv in 2008 was just a reminder of how fucked up the world is. what happened to all those shows and movies we all know and love? what happened? :(

Not Yet Closing Time
Americans are passionate about their post offices as they made clear when the Postal Service unveiled its original plan to close 3,700 post offices, most of them in rural areas. Last month, the Postal Service announced a new plan to keep post offices opened but reduce the operating hours at 13,000 locations. These low-activity post offices would be open only 2 to 6 hours a day, which the Postal Service says would save it $500 million a year. The Postal Service also plans to upgrade about 4,500 current part-time Post Offices to 8 hours of daily window service.

Finally, Congress is reviewing the settlement. Where have they all been until now?
From a report in The Wall Street Journal:
The head of the U.S. Copyright Office told Congress on Thursday that she had serious concerns about Google Inc.'s (GOOG) legal settlement with authors and publishers who sought to block the company from scanning books and making them searchable online.
Marybeth Peters, the register of copyrights, said in written testimony before the House Judiciary Committee that the Copyright Office was particularly concerned that the settlement would allow Google to display and distribute out-of-print books without prior consent from the copyright owners of those books.
"To allow a commercial entity to sell such works without consent is an end-run around copyright law as we know it," Peters said.
"In the view of the Copyright Office, the settlement proposed by the parties would encroach on responsibility for copyright policy that traditionally has been the domain of Congress," she said.

Very, very good! Made it exactly as written and I think next time I'll find a substitute for the apricots, just my personal taste.
Sep 13, 2015
This was so good and easy. I make it in the winter when we want something warm for breakfast and fresh fruit is not in season.
Mar 6, 2015
I also reduce the amount of butter. Very good. We've had it over waffles before!
Sep 19, 2013
I have made this recipe numerous times for different groups. It's always a hit and have many requests for the recipe. I use brown sugar in place of the white and often use only half the amount of melted butter that is called for. You can uses other fruits or what you have on hand.
Sep 19, 2013
This is such a comforting recipe. I've fixed it for numerous groups of people, and always have requests for the recipe. The only thing I've changed is I use brown sugar in place of white and sometimes I only use half the butter called for.
Nov 16, 2009
Missed the cranberries...bananas were a good touch. I added before serving.
Nov 16, 2009
I have made this recipe several times. Each time I received wonderful reviews and my crock pot was empty. I am making this today and it wasn't planned. I don't have all of the ingredients. No apricots or cranberries. I think I may add some sliced bananas and heat it on the stove.

@john_nye @andycayenne always a permanent marker/thick felt tip for me. Scan, build digitally, print out, scribble, scan, repeat :) Same as how I #design instruments.
sophiedennis your project sounds a bit like my gurdies! I've been nearly there for days. Got the Keyboxes glued on today, so almost finished now.
@andycayenne @samsweeny123 right at this very moment :) Just drilled and glued all the keys for the two maple 7 string sopranos I'm working on at the mo. If you're interested, drop me an email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Got a lot of #gurdy turning done today. Result: two knobs, four strap buttons and two collars ready for touching up and use.
I spent most of this afternoon learning all the different ways in which bits of ebony can break. Thankfully, the great people at the Totnes school of Guitarmaking had enough maple strips in stock for me to use those.
The second #gurdy back is on after rather a stressful gluing session inside a small, dark shed with candles for light. Now I know a little more about what it must have been like to be a luthier in the Middle Ages.
roopagulati sure! I've repaired banjos before, not done a use yet but there's little technical difference to a guitar
Woah, pinocc.io looks like a dream come true. I can't wait to start linking musical instruments up to the IoT.
I just released a whole load of my lutherie notes and resources onto the web for all to see. In a profession where free knowledge sharing is by no means the norm, this is a fairly big deal.
Needless to say, I will be building on this heavily, adding more content and refining what I have as I learn more.
It's a looong time since I last made an animated #GIF.
The boot is full of guitar repairs (courtesy of Teign Music), including one which looks like a terrifying six-eyed guitar monster with scary teeth.
Today I've gone from having almost no #gurdy wood to having almost all of my gurdy wood! Some
exciting photos:
Unpacked, grouped:
Plywood for the wheels being cut:
And best of all, a gurdy egg made from all the tape used to package the materials!
Listening to @han's 2010 dConstruct talk whilst wrestling with my printer. It will print my gurdy plans. I will make it.
I hope that as I continue my #lutherie career the excitement of designing an instrument and ordering the wood never wears off.

Russell C. Means, the charismatic Oglala Sioux who helped revive the warrior image of the American Indian in the 1970s with guerrilla-tactic protests that called attention to the nation's history of injustices against its indigenous peoples, died on Monday at his ranch in Porcupine, S.D., on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was 72.
Watch an interview with him here.
The cause was esophageal cancer, which had spread recently to his tongue, lymph nodes and lungs, said Glenn Morris, Mr. Means's legal representative. Told in the summer of 2011 that the cancer was inoperable, Mr. Means had already resolved to shun mainstream medical treatments in favor of herbal and other native remedies.
Strapping, and ruggedly handsome in buckskins, with a scarred face, piercing dark eyes and raven braids that dangled to the waist, Mr. Means was, by his own account, a magnet for trouble — addicted to drugs and alcohol in his early years and later arrested repeatedly in violent clashes with rivals and the law. He was tried for abetting a murder, shot several times, stabbed once and imprisoned for a year for rioting.
Protesting at a Columbus Day
Parade in Denver in 2000.
He styled himself a throwback to ancestors who resisted the westward expansion of the American frontier. With theatrical protests that brought national attention to poverty and discrimination suffered by his people, he became arguably the nation's best-known Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.
But critics, including many Indians, called him a tireless self-promoter who capitalized on his angry-rebel notoriety by running quixotic races for the presidency and the governorship of New Mexico, by acting in dozens of movies — notably in a principal role in "The Last of the Mohicans"(1992) — and by writing and recording music commercially with Indian warrior and heritage themes.
He rose to national attention as a leader of the American Indian Movement in 1970 by directing a band of Indian protesters who seized the Mayflower II ship replica at Plymouth, Mass., on Thanksgiving Day. The boisterous confrontation between Indians and costumed "Pilgrims" attracted network television coverage and made Mr. Means an overnight hero to dissident Indians and sympathetic whites.
Later, he orchestrated an Indian prayer vigil atop the federal monument of sculptured presidential heads at Mount Rushmore, S.D., to dramatize Lakota claims to Black Hills land. In 1972, he organized cross-country caravans converging on Washington to protest a century of broken treaties, and led an occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He also attacked the "Chief Wahoo" mascot of the Cleveland Indians baseball team, a toothy Indian caricature that he called racist and demeaning. It is still used.
And in a 1973 protest covered by the national news media for months, he led hundreds of Indians and white sympathizers in an occupation of Wounded Knee, S.D., site of the 1890 massacre of some 350 Lakota men, women and children in the last major conflict of the American Indian wars. The protesters demanded strict federal adherence to old Indian treaties, and an end to what they called corrupt tribal governments.
In the ensuing 71-day standoff with federal agents, thousands of shots were fired, two Indians were killed and an agent was paralyzed. Mr. Means and his fellow protest leader Dennis Banks were charged with assault, larceny and conspiracy. But after a long federal trial in Minnesota in 1974, with the defense raising current and historic Indian grievances, the case was dismissed by a judge for prosecutorial misconduct.
Mr. Means later faced other legal battles. In 1976, he was acquitted in a jury trial in Rapid City, S.D., of abetting a murder in a barroom brawl. Wanted on six warrants in two states, he was convicted of involvement in a 1974 riot during a clash between the police and Indian activists outside a Sioux Falls, S.D., courthouse. He served a year in a state prison, where he was stabbed by another inmate.
Russell Means in 1989.
Mr. Means also survived several gunshots — one in the abdomen fired during a scuffle with an Indian Affairs police officer in North Dakota in 1975, one that grazed his forehead in what he called a drive-by assassination attempt on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota in 1975, and one in the chest fired by another would-be assassin on another South Dakota reservation in 1976.
Undeterred, he led a caravan of Sioux and Cheyenne into a gathering of 500 people commemorating the centennial of Gen. George Armstrong Custer's last stand at Little Big Horn in Montana in 1876, the nation's most famous defeat of the Indian wars. To pounding drums, Mr. Means and his followers mounted a speaker's platform, joined hands and did a victory dance, sung in Sioux Lakota, titled "Custer Died for Your Sins."
Russell Charles Means was born on the Pine Ridge reservation on Nov. 10, 1939, the oldest of four sons of Harold and Theodora Feather Means. The Anglo-Saxon surname was that of a great-grandfather. When he was 3, the family moved to the San Francisco Bay area, where his father, a welder and auto mechanic, worked in wartime shipyards.
Russell attended public schools in Vallejo and San Leandro High School, where he faced racial taunts, had poor grades and barely graduated in 1958. He drifted into delinquency, drugs, alcoholism and street fights. He also attended four colleges, including Arizona State at Tempe, but did not earn a degree. For much of the 1960s he rambled about the West, working as a janitor, printer, cowboy and dance instructor.
In 1969, he took a job with the Rosebud Sioux tribal council in South Dakota. Within months he moved to Cleveland and became founding director of a government-financed center helping Indians adapt to urban life. He also met Mr. Banks, who had recently co-founded the American Indian Movement. In 1970, Mr. Means became the movement's national director, and over the next decade his actions made him a household name.
In 1985 and 1986, he went to Nicaragua to support indigenous Miskito Indians whose autonomy was threatened by the leftist Sandinista government. He reported Sandinista atrocities against the Indians and urged the Reagan administration to aid the victims. Millions in aid went to some anti-Sandinista groups, but a leader of the Miskito Indian rebels, Brooklyn Rivera, said his followers had not received any of that aid.
In 1987, Mr. Means ran for president. He sought the Libertarian Party nomination but lost to Ron Paul, a former and future congressman from Texas. In 2002, Mr. Means campaigned independently for the New Mexico governorship but was barred procedurally from the ballot.
Mr. Means retired from the American Indian Movement in 1988, but its leaders, with whom he had feuded for years, scoffed, saying he had "retired" six times previously. They generally disowned him and his work, calling him an opportunist out for political and financial gain. In 1989, he told Congress that there was "rampant graft and corruption" in tribal governments and federal programs assisting American Indians.
Mr. Means began his acting career in 1992 with "The Last of the Mohicans," Michael Mann's adaptation of the James Fenimore Cooper novel, in which he played Chingachgook opposite Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe. Over two decades he appeared in more than 30 films and television productions, including "Natural Born Killers" (1994) and "Pathfinder" (2007). He also recorded CDs, including "Electric Warrior: The Sound of Indian America" (1993), and wrote a memoir, "Where White Men Fear to Tread" (1995, with Marvin J. Wolf).
He was married and divorced four times and had nine children. He also adopted many others following Lakota tradition. His fifth marriage, to Pearl Daniels, was in 1999, and she survives him.
Mr. Means cut off his braids a few months before receiving his cancer diagnosis. It was, he said in an interview last October, a gesture of mourning for his people. In Lakota lore, he explained, the hair holds memories, and mourners often cut it to release those memories, and the people in them, to the spirit world.

Missouri upsets No. 18 UCLA 80-71
COLUMBIA (AP) - Jabari Brown scored 22 points and Jordan Clarkson added 21 to help Missouri upset No. 18 UCLA 80-71 on Saturday.
Two free throws by Johnathan Williams III gave Missouri (9-0) a 62-60 lead it wouldn't relinquish with 9:30 remaining. The team trailed for most of the first half and into the second before Earnest Ross made a 3-pointer with 14:46 left.
The win extended Missouri's NCAA-best, home-court winning streak to 24 games and the Tigers' run of 79 consecutive wins against non-conference opponents at Mizzou Arena. The victory was the first in that stretch against a nationally ranked team.
Jordan Adams scored 22 points and had 10 rebounds for UCLA (8-1), which dropped its first road game this season. Kyle Anderson and Zach LaVine each added 13 points
The Tigers remain the only unbeaten team in the Southeastern Conference and are off to their best start since the 2006-07 season. UCLA entered the game averaging a Pac-12 leading 90.6 points.

LONDON - Paris Saint-Germain's new-found status among the European elite will face its first real test after the French club was drawn Friday against Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Barcelona avoided leading rivals Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in Friday's draw but could be given a stern challenge from PSG, which has again become a force in Europe after heavy spending from its wealthy Qatari owners since 2011.
"They are the favourites, not only against us but all the teams. But you just have to (treat) these moments like a big party," PSG sporting director Leonardo said. "It's a big event for us, the first year back in the Champions League for so many years.
"If we had to sign for this before the season, it would be perfect. To play a quarterfinal against Barca will be very special."
The three Spanish qualifiers for the last eight were kept apart, with nine-time champion Madrid taking on Galatasaray and Malaga facing Borussia Dortmund.
The other quarterfinal is between Bayern Munich and Juventus, both repeat winners of the continent's top club competition.
The first legs will take place on April 2-3, with the return matches the following week.
PSG-Barcelona should be the highlight, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic set to return to the Camp Nou in the second leg to play the team that sold him in 2011 after his big-money move to Spain turned sour. The Sweden striker will miss the first leg because of suspension.
There will be no shortage of glamor thanks to the presence of PSG midfielder David Beckham and Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, who became the second-highest scorer in Champions League history with 57 goals after his double in the 4-0 second-leg win over AC Milan in the last 16.
That helped Barcelona become the first team to overturn a 2-0 deficit from an away first leg.
"We will meet various players we know very well," Barcelona sports director Andoni Zubizarreta said. "The teams that reach the quarterfinals have all played well. The draw is good or bad depending on whether you are back here in three weeks.
"We just had an experience in the last 16 that will make us be very prudent."
Madrid coach Jose Mourinho must find a way to stifle the threat of Didier Drogba, his former striker from their time together at Chelsea, when Galatasaray plays in the competition's quarterfinals for the first time since 2001.
Drogba, who converted the penalty last year that won Chelsea its first Champions League title, is looking to capture the trophy in back-to-back years after signing an 18-month contract with the Turkish club in January.
The Bayern-Juventus match will be a contest between the leaders of the German and Italian leagues.
"At the moment they are the best Italian team, a really tough opponent. It's a test of calibre," said Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes, whose team has lost in two of the past three finals. "They will be huge Champions League nights ... It's an even match-up."
In the Europa League, Chelsea was drawn against Russian club Rubin Kazan in the quarterfinals after having dropped into European club football's second-tier competition follow its failed Champions League title defence.
Tottenham was drawn against FC Basel, Newcastle will play Benfica and Lazio takes on Fenerbahce.

I'm not old, dammit… but I am likely beyond the halftime show of life.
The idea of writing today's blog on aging with multiple sclerosis came to me as I filled out my age on an Internet something-or-other this weekend. I clicked on the "year" part of my birth date and it took three screens to get to my birth year. Apparently, some sites don't mind making us feel advanced in years.
With news that Medicare's open enrollment period is changed this year, trips to the "aging at home" store to get replacement tips for canes, and generally feeling like our minds and bodies woke 15 years later they were when we went to bed, aging with MS seemed like a good topic for a rainy Monday morning.
My recent trip to a Florida retirement community for family matters also made me realize (and I doubt that I'm alone) that I have more in common with my parents' generation than my own.
MS can make a body feel old and tired, weak and wearied, and unable to answer the bell. MS can cause depression not unlike what is seen in some recently retired people. As I've encountered of late, the executive function and reasoning parts of the brain can be affected not unlike an aging brain too.
One rule of thumb that I use (and which served me during my difficulties late this summer) was to understand the differences between how MS does things to us and how the aging process works.
My medical team always responds to my queries; "is it MS?" is a simply and quick (if incomplete) way to check.
Take sexual libido, for example: If your sex drive was always "healthy" and then all of the sudden it's not… probably MS. If your joints are starting to ache and arthritis is common in your family: likely not an MS thing.
We have to look at our futures differently as we age with multiple sclerosis.
Financial planning and long-term care are something we really should look into and for which we should have a solid plan. Scaling back our housing and looking at single-floor plan homes, for example, are things that most people do in their 60s and 70s; we think about them in our 30s and 40s.
As I type these words, they begin to frighten me a little bit. Like most people my age, I feel like I may not have prepared as well as I might have (though an MS diagnosis at age 35 kind of throws a wrench into plans…)
"Getting old isn't for sissies": I once heard it stated by a woman in her 80s. Aging with MS as a constant companion isn't for the faint of heart either.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter.

Southern California's popular Umami Burger chain has announced plans for a third Bay Area location at 452 University Avenue in Palo Alto, to debut in mid-2013. The restaurant space previously belonged to Han Fine Korean Cuisine and will be remodeled into a 50-seat eatery with a feel inspired by the campus architecture at nearby Stanford University.
Umami is named after the term used to described the "fifth taste," which complements the much more familiar qualities of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. While it is a chain restaurant, it is distinct from quick-service burger joints both in quality and with table service. And despite the name, Umami Burger is a vegetarian-friendly company, with an acclaimed veggie burger and seasonal salads.
Umami first opened in San Francisco in October 2011. An Oakland location at 2100 Franklin Street has been secured, but an opening date has yet to be announced.

The surrounding area of Attica, a land endowed by nature, has been one of the major spiritual centers of Greece since the ancient times. The important historical and archaeological sites, Byzantine monuments, the massif, fertile valleys and clean coasts in combination with its proximity to Athens offer a very attractive outlet for daily trips to whoever wants, even for a while to escape from the tension and the city pace.
Although Amfiaraos was not a very well known deity of ancient Greek mythology, he was famous enough to be dedicated twelve temples and sanctuaries which nowadays are widely known. His popularity was derived from his curative and clairvoyance abilities. According to mythology, he was not born but he just sprung out of a spring, which was located close to his temple in Oropos. He participated in the Argonaut expedition and later in the siege of Thiva by Argioi, where Zeus himself intervened to save his life.
Out of all of his temples in Greece the most important one is Amfiarion located in a gorge on the place where Attica shares boarders with Viotia. In the same area dominates an ancient theatre which can seat 3.000 spectators. Pay attention to the five white marble seats around the stage, which carry bas-relief decorations and inscriptions. The temple is close to the spring mentioned in Amfiaraos myth. It is of Doric style built during the 4th century B.C. but most of the ruins surrounding it date back to the 6th century B.C.
How to go there
By car: You can reach Amfiarion by driving 48 km from Athens, on the road to Oropos which you will see on your right hand on the National Road Athens-Lamia.
By bus: There are two buses going to the archaeological site of Amfiarios but they stop in a nearby area not right outside the site. Afterwards you will have to walk for about 3km. There are two alternative routes: To Aghious Apostolous (in this case you will stop in Oropos, 3.3 km away from the site) and to Oropos. You can stop in Markopoulou cemetery, 3km away from the site. The buses leave from Mavromateon Str., Athens (Egyptou Square), tel: 210 82.30.179.

An earthly paradise!
There is only one word that describes Golden Clouds – Paradise! Waking up in the morning and seeing the huge expanse of blue water was breathtaking. It has every recreational activity you can imagine including tennis, basketball and a fully equipped gym, beautiful beach and two (yes two) swimming pools. Plus, having your own in-house chef (the lovely Ms. Blossom) preparing delicious meals and a full staff at your beck and call is a recipe for the perfect vacation. Golden Clouds has all the amenities you could possibly need including a large park-like setting with gardens and a playground. The bedrooms were fabulous and the bathrooms were a nice size and clean. The property itself is immaculate - it has all the comforts of home and much, much, more. Describing our week at Golden Clouds is almost hard to do. Amazing, relaxing, scenic - these words don't seem quite enough. We spent seven days in the most beautiful place in the world, swam and snorkeled on our own private reef, explored the most picturesque island we'd ever visited and met the warmest, friendliest people we could ever have imagined. We've all done a fair amount of traveling, and agree that this vacation was at the top of our lists. Hope to return again someday, as I'm now officially in love with Golden Clouds.
9 suites
Restaurants and Bars:
Restaurant with excellent chef (Blossom) Bar has a great bartender (Jackson).

Our extended family of 16 adults and three children stayed at Golden Clouds for a week and we were extremely pleased with everything about this private resort. All the other reviews are correct, it is a fantastic place to stay and the staff are the best anywhere in the Caribbean, if not the world.
We had an all-inclusive package and everything was taken care of – from the airport transfers to all of the meals, tips, and taxes so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had a van and driver for the week as part of the package, and it came in very handy for our excursions to Dunns River Falls and to the Firefly museum. Of course, we spent as much time as possible enjoying Golden Clouds and made great use of the beach, swimming pools, gym and tennis court, but it was nice to go on a few trips as well since some of our family had never been to Jamaica before.
My son, who is 14, really loved snorkelling in the sea and he spent a lot of time exploring the reef while I lounged on the beach with a good book. The staff couldn't possibly have have been nicer and responded to our every request including constant requests by the children for root beer floats with a warm smile. Kenneth was terrific with the kids and although the property is very safe, he always kept a watchful eye on them when they were near the beach or the pool.
It is impossible to imagine a better place for a family reunion. Golden Clouds is like no place on earth and we will be coming back again soon!

I just got back home from having my wedding at Golden Clouds Villa. Our wedding was absolutely perfect. We could not have dreamed of a better place for our special day. Everything about Golden Clouds is amazing. The property is beautiful and the staff are fantastic. They exceeding our expectations and Norma, the wedding coordinator, did a stellar job from start to finish. She went over every detail of the wedding in advance and was very helpful in working within our budget – we wanted a beautiful wedding but were still on a budget. We needed accommodations for 20 people at the villa for a week, plus there were another 20 people who required accommodation nearby for 4 days. They managed to provide us with a very affordable wedding package with 5-star service and décor.
One of the most difficult decisions I had to make was where to have the wedding on the property. The villa is huge with a very large lawn, beautiful beach, and tropical gardens. With a choice of beach, terrace, or garden, it was almost overwhelming to choose one of these beautiful locations. We ended up choosing the beach for the wedding and the lawn for a champaign toast afterwards. We got married on the beach at sunset and it was an incredible experience.
The dinner and reception were held in the west wing of the villa. There were 20 guests for the dinner in addition to the 20 of us who were staying for the week. So, we had 40 people for the wedding celebration and it was an incredible evening of food, music, and dancing.
My family and friends are saying they are spoiled for life and want to go back next year. Many are saying that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We can't wait to go back to this magical place for our anniversary. To all the brides out there considering this location for your wedding I would tell you to not have any hesitation at all. The staff here will do everything they can to make your dream day special. It is truly a magical place and a fantastic location for a wedding.

We just had our wedding at Golden Clouds, and it was the most perfect wedding I could have ever imagined. It is a magical place to get married, and the staff are the greatest. There were 20 of us staying at Golden Clouds for a week and it was the ideal combination of a vacation and wedding. The wedding service was quite formal and elegant, and it was in a beautiful tropical setting with gorgeous flowers and plants everywhere. The food throughout the week was fantastic and the staff couldn't have been more courteous and professional. There were four children that were part of our group and they loved every minute of their time at Golden Clouds. The property is like a huge gated park with every type of exercise and recreation equipment that you can imagine. With a large beach, two swimming pools, tennis court, basketball, and gymnasium, there was never a dull moment.
To have our wedding in such a beautiful place was a dream come true. We had a terrific wedding coordinator who looked after everything from the flowers to the music, and so we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings right up to the wedding. My bridesmaids and I had a nice relaxing massage the morning of the wedding while the guys went out for a game of golf. At sunset, we had the wedding on the beach and it was a truly magical experience. After a wonderful dinner, we danced all night to a local band that the wedding coordinator had booked for us.
Having been a bridesmaid too many times, I was quite certain that I wanted a destination wedding. I always liked the idea of spending a week with 20 of our closest friends and family instead of spending the same amount of money for a single day for 200 mostly strangers. If you are considering a destination wedding, I highly recommend Golden Clouds.
9 bedrooms
Beautiful beach
Two swimming pools
6-acres of beautiful gardens
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Modern exercise room, tennis, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, games room
